Dear Heather and Jessica, I am so happy to see you doing so well and interviewing on the Hairpin! I have been reading your website since the Olden Days, kept up with you guys from TWoP to SF's many iterations, etc. etc. I love your site, and you both seem so lovely and down-to-earth, and I am just ridiculously pleased with all of this. (And as a huge Kate Middleton fangirl, I appreciate that too.)

I am also so glad that your website is free (from you guys) from any sort of snippy body-snarking that is so prevalent on celebrity fashion sites. It's exhausting and awful and I'm glad to see a place where you can say "wow her skirt looks like it's made of feathers and string and chewing gum with little spiders hanging off the edges, it's like what would happen if my grandma's upstairs closet was the theme on 'Project Runway'" without anyone chiming in to say WELL SHE'S FAT SO WHATEVER. So thanks, I appreciate that too!

@mynamebackwards My horrible manager at my former retail job used to go on the awful cayenne pepper-maple syrup cleanse or whatever, during work hours, and she was a raging bitch to us and to customers as well. She would stand at the back of the store and bitch about every customer who left. Then at the end of her shift she would wander over to the food court, buy herself a fried chicken breast from KFC, and eat it in view of us at the store, then come back and tell us how the cleanse was making her feel SO AMAZING.

She was such a weirdo I can't even. I really feel like if you work in customer service you owe it to other human beings not to forcibly starve yourself.

My Polish dad came thisclose to naming me Apollonia and now I desperately wish he had. It was a family name, but then I could also have this awesome, tragic story to share, even in the small way of names.

WAIT A SECOND. I clicked, totally at random, on the Storekeeper's Niece, and found this:

"Mike Williams thinks the little redhead is too pretty to share Amos' nasty disposition, and once her sharp tongue crosses a line with him, he turns her over his knee for a good spanking. That's nothing, though, compared to his outrage when he learnes that Becca is determined to find her uncle's killer. Sparks fly as the Sheriff and the Storekeeper's Niece go at it in front of the whole town!

The Storekeeper's Niece is an old-fashioned Western, with traditional spanking of adult women in an historical setting."

What??????? AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE BOOKS. I am so...I had no idea this was a thing.
